Canada Digs In as US Trade Fight Escalates
Context
Joining Bloomberg This Weekend, Former Canadian Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland says Canada was right to walk away from a trade deal she argues would have harmed both countries, urging Ottawa not to back down and saying past retaliation against US tariffs proved effective. Freeland warns hosts David Gura and Christina Ruffini that Trump’s approach risks turning allies into “vassals” as Canada prepares dollar-for-dollar counter-tariffs after the US imposed new 50% duties.
